In the event of a war in Europe Ger
many would require 400, 900 horses;
France, 375, 900; Austria, 200, 900, Russia,
400, 900. Should there be war there
fore, the powers would require 1895, 900
to begin with, and more from time to
time as the lnimals should be killed or
used up in service. England has no more
horses than it needs, so that a war across
the water would stimulate the American
horse market as well as the demand for
provisions.

Among the questions given to pupils
of a St. Louis school for examination in
order to receive certificates of graduation
were the following; ''What are the dis
Deinetive features Of paleozoic fishes as re-
garas caudal fin and teethl" Expand
an original enthymeme to the form of a
syllogism.n ''What is the distinction be-
tween idealism and materialism2" "Give
the classification of the mollusca to the
orders" Translate into Greek: He
scolds not only Others but the judge. y"
They seem to have startled the parents of
the children, since one wants to know
what an enthymeme has to do with the
common affairs of life.

There is a certain frontier atmosphere
about a scene in a Kansas City court that
is refreshing. The president Of a railroad
was on the witness stand undergoing
cross-examination before United States
Commissioner Parry, when one of the
parties to the suit that was before the
court came in. The railroad president
had promised to shoot this man on sight,
and he therefore drew his revolver as he
sat in the witness chair, and would have
begun fusillade had not the court Off
GERS disaTmed him. Little incidents Of
this nature suffice to vary the dull monot-
ony of the legal procedure, and yet the
railroad president has been held for trial
on a charge Of assault WiSh intent 10 kill.
